The Maui was also delivered five weeks before it was due, and BIW brought the ship in $3.2 million under budget...

A 1968 graduate of Harvard, where he was an editor of the collegiate Lampoon, Kenney and two other former editors in 1970 launched the National Lampoon, which has since spun off movies, stage revues, a radio show, records and books...
...other of the islands (1,414,867 in 1978, up 12.5% over the previous year).
